What's the point of a time of use plan if it only varies 4 cents? Does that change behavior?
Ironically i haven't really listened to most of the official live albums much. I tend to just go straight to the board tapes, which often sound better due to having a few decades of technological advancement - many were transferred in the 90s or 2000s. Of course they didn't have then what we have now, but even consumers by then had access to software for things like mastering that would have made any 70's engineer drool - certain kinds of repairs are much more easily done digitally - back in the day cutting out a spot of stactic or a mic pop involved literal tape and razor blades.
That’s the idea. I try set it up so the time I spend on the idea in the doc is proportional to its viability.
I don't know who would prefer to do music or video editing on smaller display, without keyboard for shortcuts, without proper file system and with problematic connectivity to external hardware. Sure, it's possible, but why? Ok, maybe there's some usecase on the road where every gram counts, but that seems niche.
I got my wife an iPad to extend her macOS laptop screen to when traveling, and it worked so badly she bought a portable monitor for $75.
This is not my field, and from loose understanding, so I’ll type out a hot take off the top of my head and prepare to be corrected about it, but… some of the things in the article seemed a bit in need of clarification and relevance. Hope I get it right.

Weil is most often encountered in the field of elliptic curves, which they alluded to by the form of the polynomial, but they are mixing the reference to two types of polynomials. The equivalence of finite fields and polynomials was already established by Galois, and is maybe the central theory of abstract algebra. Weil connected this to algebraic geometry through ‘torsion points’ on an elliptic curve, which is a specific form of polynomial itself defined on a (finite) field, that have degree (adding a point to itself until it equals itself again) equal to a prime power in elliptic algebra (addition is the inverse of the intersection of a secant defined by the two points with the curve). This defines a group of prime order, and to get a field, he defined a ‘pairing’ function that works like multiplication between two group elements and returns an element in an ‘extended’ curve that belongs to a group of the same order and has the same coefficient as if the two original group coefficients were multiplied, which is known as the bilinearity property. The extension here is I think what they mean by ‘complex’ in that it doubles the degree of the field polynomial, which gives a Cartesian product of groups from the original definition, and this can be used to divide through ‘torsion points’ back to the field element that defines the product point. This opens up an elliptic form of the zeta function, which was used to prove the Riemann hypothesis on elliptic curves, although not yet extended to the integers, and Fermat’s last theorem. The most common use of this is probably pairing-based cryptography, which is based on bilinearity and computational asymmetry of the pairing operation, which is to say that you can ‘multiply’ through the pairing operation, but you cannot efficiently factor.

So now you have some context of why it’s relevant and some basic terms to look up and you’ll probably find a lot more precise but convoluted language about these things to correct me on.

> But if you ever want to go deeper, you’ve gotta understand data structures and algorithms.

I don't think this is quite right. I think it's more like:

If you ever want to go deeper, you've gotta be able to recognize when the problem you're solving fits a pattern for which good data structures and/or algorithms exist, and you've gotta be able to find, understand, and apply good reference material.

Solving this "knowing what you don't know" problem is the best and most important role of formal education, in my opinion. It's not as important to know a topic as it is to know that it exists, and some of the basic terminology necessary to get started researching it further.
Wow, thanks for the pointer, finding it super useful right now to see what's taking so much space in my backups
Power for power, any thoughts on what mobile inference looks like vs doing it in the cloud?
> The whole "hustle culture" vibe feels like it has been a distraction/cult?

I would characterize it as a fad (and one the has recurred throughout history). But there are things in it that I think are true -- namely, the idea of persistence. If you roll the dice enough times, sooner or later the number you want will come up. This is why there are so many truisms like "you've only really failed if you stop trying again."

Statistics is how you leverage luck to your advantage.

> The idea of people trying to vibe off of Gary V. and replicate that success by replicating the _personality_ and _habits_ seems like a dead-end. Everyone is different.

I think this is exactly right. You don't replicate someone else's success by trying to be like them. It rarely works (and seems a bit cargo-cultish to me). The path to your personal success will always wander differently than others, because you are different from others.

That difference, by the way, is a strength. It's the real value-add that you have to offer.
YouTube initially had a 10 minute limit to stop people from uploading entire episodes of TV shows, and dropped that limit as soon as it had ways to identify pirated content. There are many things on YouTube today which are longer then anything comparable on TV, like 6 hour interviews.
> Sales has a similar phenomenon with sports. While there is no athleticism involved in selling, many believe history in competitive sports to be a positive predictor of sales success.

This is interesting. I had never heard this before. Is there any research on this? For that matter, is there any actual research showing that leetcode-style interviews actually do predict performance? If so, do they do so any better or differently than an IQ test?
> Car factories that make ICE vehicles can be switched to produce electric vehicles.

Although that doesn't seem to happen much. Most electric cars are produced in new plants. The notable exception is Ford's truck line, where the Ford Transit and the F-150 both come in electric and gas models.
Countering a lazy reference with some weird racist stereotype was the best you could do?
Why link a tweet when Reuters has an actual article: https://www.reuters.com/technology/nintendo-expects-sell-135... (title: "Nintendo to make announcement on Switch successor by March-end").

Is it because the tweet here "is the source"? Regardless of how bereft of context it is?

I've only ever had a single whiteboard interview in my career, and it was a single interviewer who preferred them (I accepted the job), but I have also walked through the backdoor via recommendations for all but 1 of my employers in ~20 years in the industry. From embedded in radio and television broadcasting, to medical robotics, to AAA games, with some excursions into web development. Every other interview at a company I accepted an offer for was a conversation with engineers about my experience and some hypotheticals.
Does he? Or all his tweets are taken out of context and turned 180 degrees around by mass media to gain clicks?

Sure he said few bad things over the years, but overall it's positive.

And don't forget he's got a spectrum diagnosis, on antidepressants, works crazy hours, got beaten to death by black gangs and had terrible childhood by abusive father. Most people like him would end up as a recidivist.

I didn't make any claims, I just explained what the parent was saying. There could be multiple ways to make it more green: one being not doing the processing, or another perhaps just optimizing the work being done. But actually, no, you don't need a viable way to be green in order to call greenwashing "greenwashing." It can just be greenwashing, with no alternative that is actually green.
What's creeping me out is that there's zero mention of how the nano-texture display affects pencil use.

The nano-texture on the standalone display Apple offered a while back was very fragile (if I remember correctly)... I would imagine touching it, let alone dragging a pencil across it, could very quickly leave visible scratches?

If not - will this wear through Apple Pencil tips like they're made of rubber?

Adding another comment here, because this is part of the reason why I wrote this article.

> These kind of articles make me sad because I (and many other interviewers I've worked with) try to make it clear that this isn't a test - we don't care so much about being "right" or "wrong", and there shouldn't be any tricks of "a ha" moments.
> We explain the goals and what we're looking for right up front. And I would hope most interviewers do the same, but I guess not. So there's this persistent myth among both interviewers and candidates that coding questions are about getting a right answer.

I understand all of those things. I've written the same before[1]. However, as clear as your instructions are and as well meaning you may be, it may not help. I can logically understand every word you say, but as soon as that question rolls out, I will now be dealing with stress hormones and 30 years of learned behaviors from thousands of experiences, whether I choose to or not.

So while I applaud your methodology and wholeheartedly agree, just telling people that doesn't guarantee that it's not still an issue because humans are complex organisms.

So Zelensky's cronies are corrupt. Oh wow, how horrible, they should've kept the squeaky-clean Yanukovych and his cleanly obtained mansion instead? In a utopian democracy (also one not being bombed), someone else can run against Zelensky and oust him peacefully, and Zelensky would probably not order his followers to storm the parliament.

The fact that you call it a coup makes me assume you're a Pro-Trump, pro-Putin anti-woke, brainwashed fool, and that discussion with you will be fruitless.

Yeah I get it, you can hold a mirror and say the opposite things about me (Anti-Trump, Anti-Putin, woke, brainwashed fool, who will be fruitless to discuss with). So let's just call each other fucking fuckwits and end it right now.
How do you suggest they make new iPads for people who want them? Someone has to make new CPUs and if you can improve perf/W while you're doing so you might as well.
Yeah, but leetcode does not necessarily give you that skill or even prove it. And a talented problem solver would be able to find optimal and practical solutions when they are required and are not premature even without doing leetcode.

You might get false positives as well. E.g. you get people who are tunnel visioned on leet code, cracking the coding interview and other common system design books, they know all the answers, but then they completely lack common sense day to day and it can be hard to test for that if you are solely focusing on leetcode.
In Canada big metro cities (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal), the spreadsheet will most likely tell you that you should have bought on sight instead of making a spreadsheet.

Show HN: A little help to overcome procrastination
How it works.
State the task you are going to postpone, but want to be done. Make it done step by step.

Real life example.
Yesterday I needed to work on a small part of a project, and I had to create a separate project for it. It only takes a few minutes to create a new project, and copy and adjust some code from the main project. But it was around 11pm and I felt overwhelmed. So I literally wrote: create a folder. And I created a folder. Then I wrote: open it in vs code… etc.

I know it looks stupid, so I’ll add a backstory as a first comment.
"I just don't do online coding exercises. They typically bear no relevance to the project and if you expect me to be solving basic problem in CS while being watched and judged in real time when I join then I don't think I want to join. Also, if you cannot judge my experience based on my CV then I don't think you know who you are looking for."

Marginal housing was basically outlawed because of abuses, but there are various ways around it if the demand/desire is there (hotels are marginal, for example).
I interviewed a couple of folks from Google recently and it was mindblowing how they "work", it's very unfortunate. I feel for some of the people who only worked there their whole lives (e.g: from recent grad within the last 5y), it is unlikely that they actually know how to program.
Backstory.
Procrastination is my big problem. There are no simple whys and hows about it. It is just how our neural system works. How easy or hard it is to do something depends on a lot of things like personality, mood, time of day, some random events, and so on. And the simplest solution often seems to be pushing the task to tomorrow.

Even the smallest task doesn't exist in isolation. When it comes to big projects, work, personal life, and family, you can't really separate one from the other. There is never enough time, and often you have to sacrifice something. But some people naturally manage to do everything—they just get things done.

I've been trying to do something about it for a long time. In particular, I tried many different tools, to do lists, time managers, project managers. Most of these tools are designed to discipline me and none of them cover my needs. I always came back to google sheets, Keep and handwriting notes. So, I decided to develop my own.

I have no idea what the final product will look like. I've just started with this small component. Any feedback would be helpful.

About not knowing what I want. I began coding 7 weeks ago, because I couldn’t explain to my team what I wanted. I didn’t know what I wanted until I saw it. I started with Python, then switched to TypeScript, Node.js, and React. I installed Next.js for the first time 10 days ago. Actually this is why I have all these steps to initiate a new project and install dependencies. There are no such things like ‘create a folder’ or ‘run vs code’, but all other steps are written in the google sheet. I’ll be thankful for any technical comments too.
For all their competitors it’s not true right now.
Sorry, it’s been a long time and I don’t remember. I know that we were looking for places that were within a 15-20 minute walk from the Loop offices where we worked.

I think it should be noted that talent/work (sometimes hard bloody work) is often essential to success--but without luck, the only output you get is failure at worst and mediocrity at best.

And extreme outliers can get away with lots of talent/luck and not notice that they put in far less work (and they often give terrible advice about how to replicate their success).

The point is that tanks at the time were faster(along with mechanized infantry) and virtually unstoppable past enemy lines. This is pretty much unprecedented which allowed them to basically take strategic objectives uncontested.

This would not happen today because the exposed tanks would be taken out by relatively cheap anti tank missiles.

I was trying to argue that the only way the Court would accept the case is if it would find the accusations plausible.

I specifically said nobody is trying to argue that the court has ruled one way or the other. Merely that by accepting the case, the court did view some of the actions as capable of falling inside the Convention.

We are basically arguing over what the word plausible means here. I still stand by my words that the word applies to the courts believes as stated by the ruling.
I can't imagine a phone being a component. Nintendo has always had a conservative take on communications between users. It's usually filtered or reduced to set of preset phrases or emoji/reactions.

Animal Crossing let you freely chat, but without a keyboard, it's difficult to get more than a couple short words out. Splatoon is a popular multiplayer game that greatly benefits from team communication, but all you have are "booyah!" and "over here!" and a couple other preset means to communicate to your teams.

Miiverse on the Wii U was an exception and let users post text and drawings, but it felt pretty heavily moderated, and was eventually shut down. I do miss it though, it was a great community while it lasted.

Given their target demographic I can't imagine Nintendo would put any effort into allowing general communications through their hardware.

Smit was always love/hate. It's very powerful, effective and well thought out, and if I didn't already have years of 'regular' unix experience, I would have liked it much, much better. But it screamed "this is what happens when mainframe folks are handed a unix". And the first thing I was told in my first AIX admin class was "Just accept it up front and learn to love smit. Do not try to go behind smits back. Do not think you know better than smit does.". Wasn't usually wrong.
Yes. But many parts of excel don't support those. E.g. conditional formatting just doesn't deal with names.

Also, when you need names, it is a sign to reach for a proper programming enviroment like Delphi or Lazarus.
There's a double tap gesture on the second gen (and newer I think) version of the Apple Pencil that switches between the eraser and whatever tool you're using. I find this to be much more efficient and ergonomic than having to turn the whole pencil over to erase.
There was a comment in the results call where Furukawa was asked whether it was a whole new console-type or another Switch, and he said "Switch next model is the appropriate way to describe it", so it sounds like they're staying the course on this one.
Seems like a backronym to me.
"older" and "newer" is the construction type.

Think of an old brick building with several stories and a window per floor vs a new steel + concrete building with windows spanning multiple floors.

The "older" builder like the converted one in the parent post has small windows, allowing easy subdivisions. Newer buildings have windows spanning multiple floors and need to be retrofitted and on a skyscraper that comes at a huge cost.

The bigger ticket item is the plumbing and ventilation, and to some extent the electrical. Ventilation is needed around the cooking area and washrooms, adding that to a building not purposed for this is challenging (where does the "contaminated" air go out?).

It's often cheaper to bomb down the building and start over than doing a conversion on a new highrise. You'll see this often where they gut the entire structure and floors, keep a few walls/supporting structure, and build new.
Why not just ban the homeless then? They’re not hard to identify and remove.
As an occasional launch livestream watcher since F9 still had rectangular engine mount, I'd say the real probability of a launch is about 25% for ANY vehicle except for Soyuz from Baikonur and Falcon 9. Everything else could scrub with 24h+ delays at easily 75% chance.

Could be wayward boats and planes, Hydrogen leaks, onboard self diagnostic failure, false hydrogen leak alarms, unstable wireless telemetry connection, upper atmospheric winds and all kinds of weather, frozen plumbings, computers passing out, automatic cutoff due to anomalous vibration at T-1s, anything.

With Soyuz scrubs and failure probabilities finally creeping up, the only vehicle in the world that likely lift off on first try is Falcon 9. Anything else could pause at T-45s and recycle from T-2 hours for couple times, then go all the way to T-0s, and then delay by a week. That's just how most of these things work.
This is completely unrealistic unless you want to burn money.
